Context
24:59 So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way , accompanied by her female attendant , with Abraham’s servant and his men .
24:60 They blessed Rebekah with these words: “Our sister , may you become the mother of thousands of ten thousands ! May your descendants possess the strongholds of their enemies .”
24:61 Then Rebekah and her female servants mounted the camels and rode away with the man . So Abraham’s servant took Rebekah and left .
24:62 Now Isaac came from Beer Lahai Roi , for he was living in the Negev .
24:63 He went out to relax in the field in the early evening . Then he looked up and saw that there were camels approaching .
24:64 Rebekah looked up and saw Isaac . She got down from her camel
24:65 and asked Abraham’s servant , “Who is that man walking in the field toward us?” “That is my master ,” the servant replied . So she took her veil and covered herself.
24:66 The servant told Isaac everything that had happened .
24:67 Then Isaac brought Rebekah into his mother Sarah’s tent . He took her as his wife and loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
